[Advisors] video - what's the deal with geonames

[Marita Moll]

Hello advisors. I know that that goes at ICANN may seem like it has 
little relevance to most of our worlds. However, this little video 
designed to explain why geonames are controversial does help explain 
some of the politics that can be involved in what seem like esoteric 
discussions.

Let me know if you found this interesting/helpful in explaining what 
goes on in the world on gTLDs -- generic top level domains. ICANN and 
the community is preparing to open applications for new gTLDs sometime 
soon. We (the end user community) have been very active in trying to put 
in place some restraints around potential applications for geonames.
